ONEKAKA ENTERPRISE
PHOSPHATE ROCK REQUIRED FRENCH COMPANIES’ INTERESTED French rock phosphate interests, and those of the North African companies, whose headquarters are, without exception, situated in Paris, are said to be showing a great interest in the opening for exports which is likely to result in New Zealand from the development, by the Government, of the iron industry at Onekaka, It is estimated that the O ’-'ka industry will require at least 11,000 tons of rock phosphates each year, which must be imported. The probability is that the Government will prefer to use phosphate from the deposits in which we are interested at Nauru and Ocean Islands, but African phosphate companies consider that they can considerably underquote for material which will be equally suitable for iron manufacturing purposes.
